corrupted configuration file?

[Pat Moran]

I have an application that was running fine on Vista but has suddenly started
failing whn it tries to access configuration data. Whe I try to access the
ConecctionsSrting or call the method ConfigurationManager.AppSettings,

I get an exception with the message

The configuration section 'appSettings' has an unexpected declaration.

I have check the application and the user config files and they seem to be
OK. Any suggestions for what th eproblem migh be.

Thanks

Pat

Can you post the file or at least the section "appSettings"?
